The Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers! Yang Hansen must accept two cruel facts, acting coach showdown

They recalled him without allowing him to play. Is the Trail Blazers' intention to let Yang Hansen experience the game and adapt to the rhythm of the NBA? On November 4th, the NBA regular season ushered in a focus game. The Trail Blazers faced the Lakers at home. Since many main players including Doncic, Reeves and James did not appear, the outside world generally believed that the Trail Blazers would easily win the game. However, unexpectedly, the Lakers, who were short of major generals, actually defeated the Trail Blazers 123-115 on the road. In this campaign, many people on the Lakers performed well. Starting player Ayton scored 29 points and 10 rebounds, Rui Hachimura scored 28 points, and substitute Smith made 10 of 15 and 5 of 6 three-pointers, scoring 25 points.

Trail Blazers starter Avdija scored a game-high 33 points, Sharp scored 23 points, and substitute Grant scored 18 points. In the first quarter, the Lakers turned away and got off to a 4-0 start. However, as the game progressed, the Trail Blazers not only tied the score, but also widened the point difference to double digits. After Knecht almost completed a tip-in at the buzzer, the Lakers trailed the Trail Blazers by 9 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' feeling dropped sharply, and the Lakers took the opportunity to set off a small climax, especially Smith's explosion, which helped the Lakers chase the score difference to only 1 point at the end of the half.

After halftime adjustments, the recovering Trail Blazers once again opened the score to nearly double digits in the third quarter. At the critical moment, Ayton stepped forward. Under his leadership, the Lakers launched a counterattack and achieved a lead in the score. Therefore, after three quarters, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 4 points. In the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Avdija, the Trail Blazers always controlled the score difference within a catchable range.

But for the Lakers, due to the successive explosions of Ayton, Hachimura and Smith, the Lakers had established a double-digit lead in the last three minutes of the game. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers were already unable to do anything in chasing points at the final moment, so they surrendered. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers with a 12-point lead in the away game. It is worth mentioning that after the Trail Blazers lost, Yang Hansen had to accept two cruel facts.

First of all, the first cruel fact is that with the return of inside player Robert Williams from injury, Yang Hansen is undoubtedly facing more fierce competition for his position. It can even be said that Yang Hansen has become the team's fifth choice. Secondly, the second cruel fact is that Yang Hansen will often face DNP in the future regular season. Now the team coach Split has completely distrusted Yang Hansen, so in today's game against the Lakers, the recalled Yang Hansen was DNP again.

It should be noted that in the previous game against the Nuggets, Yang Hansen was not arranged to play by the coach. This was also the first time in his career that he was DNP. There is no doubt that Yang Hansen will be frequently DNPed by the coach in the future. Therefore, I hope that Yang Hansen must have a correct mentality. Finally, Trail Blazers coach Splitter responded to Yang Hansen being sent to the Development League.

Split said: "Yang Hansen is very good and understands his situation very well. He did a great job and completed everything we asked. He is a truly professional player. In addition to completing personal skills training, he also has the opportunity to He will learn from the team. The team will not have many training opportunities during the intensive schedule, so it is always a good thing for him to sweat a little. "But having said that, if Yang Hansen wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he must do his best to improve himself, otherwise he is likely to be completely eliminated.
